El Jefe: The Stalking of Chapo Guzman by Fuer, Alan liquidation NEUF

The definitive account of the rise and fall of the ultimate narco, El Chapo, from the New York Times reporter whose coverage of his trial went viral.

Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán is the most legendary of Mexican narcos. As leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, he was one of the most dangerous men in the world. His fearless climb to power, his brutality, his charm, his taste for luxury, his penchant for disguise, his multiple dramatic prison escapes, his unlikely encounters with Sean Penn — all burnished the image of the worlds most famous outlaw. He was finally captured by US and Mexican law enforcement in a daring operation that was years in the making.

Here is that entire epic story — from El Chapos humble origins to his conviction in a Brooklyn courthouse. Long serving New York Times criminal justice reporter Alan Feuers coverage of his trial was some of the most riveting journalism of recent years. Feuers mastery of the complex facts of the case, his unparalleled access to confidential sources in law enforcement and his powerful understanding of disturbing larger themes — what this one mans life says about drugs, walls, class, money, Mexico and the United States — will ensure that this is the one book to read about El Chapo.
